This will affect consumers who have business with the company's two operating subsidiaries, New Century Mortgage Corp., headquartered in Irvine, Calif., and Home 123, a New Century affiliate.

Consumers who have recently closed loans are advised to confirm with their settlement agent (lawyer or title company) that their monies have been received.
